Rob, Parents could be a pain when choosing new appliances when your younger, they think they know best lol. In 86 one of my friends mum bought a new philips front loader to replace her old 70's sliver and blue trim philips slimstar when she had her kitchen done and let me have it. I really liked it and had it set up in my parents garage but as you say it was a shame you couldn't watch it work. one thing I noticed was when it first started to pumped out after the wash a big clod of undissolved persil always came out.Ahh The days before detergent recover systems lol
Paul, thanks for your message and congratulations on ur hotpoint and hoover dryer, I'd only ever seen the old hoover dryers with solid doors, yours looks really cool. I would also like to thank you for clearing somthing up for in a previous thread awhile ago about Hoover matchbox washers, my mum had a Hoover automatic de luxe with light grey and orange trim but her friend had one with dark grey and red trim. I could never understand why untill I read thread about all the different colour schemes. I just thought one was perhaps from the MEB or Sweb lol. P.S. I know where theres a white Hotpoint electroinc deluxe up for spares. I shall post in another thread If your Interested
7282swashertalk, thanks for your comments. Two of the things I love about where I live are the wooden floors and the kitchen. When I was first shown round the first thing I saw when the front door was opened was the floors, I knew I wanted it straight away And then I saw the kitchen which was the icing on the cake lol.
